Answer:

1/4 ft vertically per 1 ft horizontally, or 3inches per foot

Step-by-step explanation:

Translate these words into symbols:  One point is at (4 ft, 12 in) and the other is at (6 ft, 18 in).  Now find the slope of the line connecting these two points:

As we move from (4 ft, 12 in) to (6 ft, 18 in), x increases by 2 ft and y increases by (1/2) ft.

Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = (1/2 ft) / (2 ft) = (1/4) ft per ft

BRAINLIEST!!!!<br><br><br> Identify the equation of the translated graph in general form
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Hyperbola:

x^2-y^2-8x+6y-1=0

Step-by-step explanation:

the given hyperbola has equation:

x^2-y^2=8

This is an equation of a hyperbola centered at the origin.

This hyperbola is translated so its center is now at T(4,3)

(x-4)^2-(y-3)^2=8

We expand to get:

x^2-8x+16-(y^2-6y+9)=8

x^2-8x+16-y^2+6y-9=8

x^2-8x-y^2+6y+7=8

x^2-8x-y^2+6y+7-8=0

x^2-y^2-8x+6y-1=0
